Industrial sized wind turbines are designed to be used in wind farm applications and by utilities planning to sell to the public. The interesting part here is that they often need to work with land owners and farmers to position the turbines close to users. Pricing for this type of turbine is usually set for …
Cars are becoming a primary focus in sustainable design and pollution prevention. According to WikiAnswers there were over 240 million cars registered in 2005 in the US alone and that number has continued to grow in subsequent years. While there have recently been developments in hybrid and electric cars (even solar powered cars) there has …
A storm is brewing in the world of wind power. Advocates of renewable energy praise energy companies that invest in wind farms as leaders in their industry, and many people enjoy the idea of hundreds of massive wind turbines powering their communities from hundreds of miles away. Other people, however, are more skeptical. After the …
This article is meant to address solar and wind power solutions for the financially challenged and thrifty consumer. Renewable energy has the potential to last as long as the sun shines. Since wind is generated by thermal differentials caused by the sun, it can be thought of as byproduct of solar power. What can you …
Kent received his first royalty check from the drilling nearby. Here was a cash infusion, several thousand dollars. A big screen TV, shopping spree at Home Depot, and many other thoughts crossed his mind. While these products and services all sounded nice, using non-renewable energy to fund one time purchases would be a waste of …
The Barnett Shale formation is a natural gas field that exists under much of north Texas. With new “fracturing” techniques, it has become possible to extract natural gas from this formation which has been under the feet of Texans for over a century. Now, we have the technology to get it. Better yet, people who …
Wind Power has certainly been around for a long time. It is quite possibly one of the earliest forms of clean tech ever developed. Compared to solar and many other forms of clean technology it takes far less engineering and processing to capture and it is available everywhere on earth, thought it can be unreliable …
